This paper study the interventions made by judiciary, through its judgments relating to important role female police officer can play in curbing crime against women and girls. Presence of women police in police stations has huge impact on reducing custodial violence which might be committed against female suspect/victim. In order to ensure the presence of women police in issues pertaining to violence against women and girls, several amendments to criminal laws were made and reflected in directives given by the judiciary. Many studies have shown that presence of female police officer results in increased reporting of crime against women.
